AIM Problems

[kdogg112]

I'm not sure that this question even fits into this category but I'm going to ask anyway in hopes that someone will know the answer. I use AOL Instant Messenger but I'm having problems adding buddies. I haven't had this problem before, its just recently. Whenever I try to add people to my list, their screenname appears on my list but disappears after about 5 seconds and are gone permanently. I tried getting the latest version of AIM but it didn't help. Any ideas whats going on and how I can fix it? This is really frustrating for me! Thanks a bunch!

how many people do you have on your buddy list? I believe there is a limit on how many buddies you can have.

there is no limit...however i noticed a new thing lastnight whenadding people they must accept you..I've never seen that before but its been a long time since I used aim that might be the issue here?? Like I said I've never seen it before and not sure if it was just because either I was blocking all users not on my buddy list or if it was because they were...but I thought it was weird

[dauss]

your probably right. There is an option so only users on your buddy list can contact you. Or maybe your blocked from that person's buddy list.

Actually the limit is 200 users, I had the same problem, CLEAN OUT YOUR BUDDY LIST.

The current max for AIM buddylist is 200. If you all another buddy, it shows up, but is removed from your list. I dont kno why they just dont let you add 200. I believe they dont display a n error because if they raise the buddylist limit, you wouldnt be able to add buddies without downloading the new client.
